divinity

When we are all made in the image of God,

if everything we are is holy,

then everything we do is ministry.

When you are bagging groceries,

you are preparing communion for me,

because everything is holy,

you are feeding me.

When you are sharing pictures,

that made you laugh,

chortle, chuckle, guffaw,

you are spreading joy and love in times of darkness.

When you are connecting people,

finding ways for us to be together,

though we are apart,

creating poetry from our complaints,

you are weaving us together.

When you are

holding your child,

making a schedule,

disregarding a schedule,

locking yourself in the bathroom for five sanity-sustaining minutes,

you are part of this story,

you are doing what it takes,

you are holding it together,

or not,

it’s okay if you aren’t,

then you are setting the example for others,

that it is okay if we are fragile,

we are only human,

even when we are divine.
